...first annual field meeting of the Brookline Athletic Club took place on their grounds at Cypress Street, Brookline, last Saturday, and proved, on the whole, successful.

It is hoped that the Glee Club will be willing to devote to the rehearsal of the choruses the time which will be necessary for success. If so, the fifteen will probably be chosen from the members of the Club; there is need of first tenors, however...
...first performance will be some time in May. It would perhaps be well to give a "benefit" performance during Class Day week, and devote the proceeds to a fund for buying casts, &c., which are much needed in the Greek Department...
